Been using the M35 a lot, making it my main weekend vehicle... ;-) Even
took it to Lowes for Easter. I have noticed that when its first warming
up for the day that you can smell a slight antifreeze smell in the cab.
My heater isn't hooked up, so its not coming from there. Anyone have
any ideas? The level doesn't appear to be going down at all, but I could
just be blind... :-)

Hooked it up to a friends M105 Trailer this weekend, and that instantly
shaved 5mph off any speed I traveled. Is this normal? Or does the 105
have brakes dragging possibly? I do know that after you put a few face
cords of firewood in each it goes reaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll
ssssslllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww LOL But then again there is a
lot of weight there.

Does anyone know where I can get a few things.... Looking for parts to
rebuild troop seats... currently making my own sides, but would like
troop seats to use in parades.

Also I am looking for a couple of pintle rings that will fit the hitch
on the M35. I need to make a hitch for the wood splitter, and the Hay
elevator (used for loading firewood into the deuce... I learned real
quick its too high to do by hand) They don't have to be very strong as
neither weighs much, they just have to have a large enough diameter to
go over the pintle.

One last thing... does anyone know the NSN for the whistler turbo? Or
the NSN for the complete whistler kit?

Mike
